Chapter 89: The Battle of Scolding (Part I) (4/5)

In this year's Lunar New Year file, Shen Mengxi did not make any deployment against the opponent, and he did not even do the rhythm smear!

It's completely unnecessary, the chances of winning are too big.

And "1942" is indeed a good movie, putting aside all levels, it must be a good thing that someone is willing to make "1942" and spares no expense.

Some people complain about what historical themes are used to make money...

In fact, yes, if you don't use commercial packaging, the public can't be interested!

And it's right for a big director to make this kind of movie - even if a small director wants to make it, he must have investors willing to support it.

As for the box office failure of "1942", the box office doesn't tell everything!

Let's be fair, "1942" has exceeded 300 million box office, and it is remarkable that such a theme can win more than 300 million box office.

But it doesn't mean that if you shoot "1942", you will be awesome, and you can slap Shen Mengxi in the face!

I'll write about this later...

Next door, "The King's Feast" is also holding a premiere press conference...

Focus on pathos marketing:

Lu Chuan cried on the spot: If you want to innovate, you have to pay a price - in order to shoot "The King's Feast", I borrowed a sum of 6 million yuan in the later stage, for which I mortgaged one of my own properties.

Before filming "The King's Feast", I consulted a lot of documents and historical materials, and I personally believe that all the history that has left us has more and more vivid facts hidden behind it, and what I want to do is to find out those unknown histories and present them on the camera. ’

'If 'The King's Feast' doesn't do well at the box office, I may have to quit the film industry...'

'This circle is too cruel, the blow to young directors is too severe, I have seen too many such phenomena, I just want to leave something for Chinese films, leave some social significance... I want to make a film that is useful for China's present and future!'

Another person who wants to be a father...

......

On the 28th, four films compete against each other...

"One Shot to the End", "Life of Pi", "1942", "The King's Feast".

Some people complained on the Internet, 'Either you don't come, or you just come together, so many blank slots don't choose, you have to squeeze together!'

Of course, this is only a small audience!

Most of those who enter the theater still choose "One Shot to the End"...

The results of the first day were released, "1942" was 21 million in a single day, "Youth Pi" was 16 million, "The King's Feast" was 5.8 million on the first day, and "One Shot to the End" still firmly occupied the single-day box office champion - 36 million!

Attendance was also the highest in the same period.

"1942" got off to a bad start!

Feng Xiaogang has always been a box office myth for the Chinese New Year.

Two years ago, the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb 2" was 36.2 million and 34.9 million respectively.

Many people hope that "1942" will break the record of the first day of "Walking with God"!

Far from it, the former exceeded 70 million on the first day...

In addition, the Douban reputation of "1942" is not very good...

There's no way, Feng Xiaogang's appearance of pretending to be a master is particularly annoying, coupled with the effect of Hushubao...

Many people didn't watch the movie and gave a bad review directly:

"It's not that the subject matter is profound to make a good movie!"

"I'm really speechless, there are a group of so-called intellectuals in China who think that something sarcastic must be exposed to be profound, but they lack the most basic philosophical literacy.

"Nothing but topicality..."

Of course, there are also praises, with a Douban score of 7.7 points!

......

In the movie theater near her home, Shen Mengxi accompanied Liu Yifei to watch "One Shot to the End", and then followed her out of the screening hall without saying a word...

No matter how good a movie is, you have watched it dozens of times, and that's it!

If you eat a big meal every day, you will get tired of it!

Otherwise, why is there a saying that house flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers?

"One Shot to the End", a rough cut version, a condensed version, three test screenings, plus a premiere...

I'm about to vomit when I see it!

got in the car, and the young lady suddenly said: "I think I can also play that female director!"

"Which female director?"

"Just the role of Zhao Liying!"

“... But at that time, you didn't take the initiative to ask to join, Zhao Liying was recommended by Lu Yang, she liked the script very much, took the initiative to find Ning Hao, confiscated a dime, and played this role!"

The young lady was silent...

She really couldn't do that.

And in order to make her appearance more like Ge You and more like a female director, Zhao Liying deliberately cut her hair short, revealing her big forehead...

This kind of strength for the role also made her successfully recommended to take over "Modern Times" and partner with Xu Zheng.

Huang Bo also filmed "Blade"...

"Actually, your image is not suitable for comedy... Comedy is the kind of film that requires the talent of the actors themselves, and you are too beautiful, unless you are willing to be a vase to set off the actors..."

“... There's a good script, I don't mind!"

"You said it!"

The school flower in "Charlotte's Troubles" is naturally suitable for you!

Wang Zhi... The fame is a little worse.

The young lady nodded, and then asked him, "Is "Thai Embarrassment" good-looking?"

"It's not bad, "Thai Embarrassment" is a hilarious comedy, and "One Shot to the End" takes the genre of warmth + reunion, and the two are different branches of comedy..."

"Will there be a conflict?"

"Let me tell you this, when I was doing airplanes, I could watch 12 hours of comedy straight!"

......

Back to "One Shot to the End", on the third day, he beat "1942", and still maintained the single-day box office champion, breaking 100 million in three days!

Before the official website of "One Shot to the End" issued a press release that broke 100 million yuan in three days, Huang Zhonglei complained on Weibo: ""1942" Golden Harvest Cinema is only 14.8% of the film schedule, and the prime film schedule is even only 12%, this is Chiguoguo's suppression of "1942"!"

""1942", director Feng Xiaogang worked hard for ten months, and Huayi spent 210 million to build it!"

"This is a work that everyone suffers from, actors, directors, screenwriters, everyone has paid the maximum physical strength, this is the hard work of Chinese filmmakers!"

"Such a phenomenal blockbuster, China's "Hinteler List", I don't want to cause a movie dilemma because of a little dispute!"

"Chinese films must not be capricious!"

Directly @ Shen Mengxi...

When he posted on Weibo, it was ten o'clock in the evening, and Shen Mengxi was busy entering the great harmony of life with his young sister, and he did not reply as soon as possible.

Zhao Jinsong replied:

"Two things, the film schedule of Golden Harvest Cinema Line is not under our control, if we can be willful, we will schedule "One Shot to the End" 100%;

The basis for scheduling films is the judgment of the theater manager - the most accurate box office prediction in the Chinese film market is always the theater manager;

Secondly, the attendance rate of the movie "1942" in Golden Harvest Cinemas is only 8.2%, which is much lower than that of "Life of Pi", and even the attendance rate is not as good as that of "Band-Aid", which has only 5% of the film schedule..."

His reply can be summed up in one sentence: You don't sell well, and you still expect me to schedule more films for you?

Zhao Jinsong said very tactfully, but his words were very sharp, and he didn't give Huang Zhonglei any face...
